St. George, S.C. - Mural Town!

St. George, S.C.

Mural town! No one guessed my last "Guess Where S.C.?" entry so I am adding some more of the murals that decorate this small town in South Carolina. I had featured it before in this entry about the train station mural. The train station was particularly cool because it featured the real people in the neighboring convenient store.

These are pretty amazing since rather than working with a large black wall, they include the switch boxes, doors and windows of the building. My impression is that the artist and his wife live in town and can't stop painting. Soon it will be a destination drive just because of the murals.
